A name and ship steeped in history, heritage, and charm. MS Maud is named after one of the most famous polar vessels of all time, Roald Amundsen's 'Maud' from 1917. Today's MS Maud is equipped with advanced technology making her well-suited for polar expeditions.

A Small Ship, Big Adventure! From the moment you step onboard MS Maud, we want you to relax, discover new places, and learn fascinating facts. Whether you're ready to say hello to your inner scientist in our advanced Science Center or indulge your inner foodie in one of three restaurants onboard. This floating basecamp will be your home away from home as you explore the world around you.

This floating basecamp will be your home away from home as you explore the world around you. MS Maud has everything you need, ensuring you are ready to discover a world away from ordinary. It's the perfect size ship: big enough for a range of onboard facilities but small enough to sail close to the coast for breathtaking views and to access areas larger ships can't reach.

MS Maud is a more sustainable expedition ship. She is equipped with a battery pack that will support the ship’s engines, and drastically cut emissions. The ship sources power from land when docked, and this eliminates shoreside
